THE b. 4 o. EXPRESS COMPANY
Has Net Been Absorbed by the
Adams Company.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February o.
W. b. Trego, general manager OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Express Com
pany, said today there was absolutely
no truth in the published report of
the absorption Of his company by the
Adams Express Company. There
have been no negotiations, he said,
and were any ofiersto be made by the
Adams they would not be considered.
The Baltimore and Ohio Company,
Mr.. Trego said, had recently added
1900 miles Of railroad to Its express
system (the Queen and Crescent and
the Cincinnati, Hamilton aud Dayton
systems) and in short time would
absorb the business OF another rail-
road about 1000 miles In length, the
express business Of which Is now
handled by the Adams company.

CHICAGO, ILL, February "a spe-
cial to the Daily Nevs from Warsaw,
Ind, says: A terrible tragedy, which
occurred about ten miles north OF this
place, came to light ye; tsrdsy. A par
ty OF hunters, on their return to their

idence OF Perry Durham, in Tippeca-

his mutilated remains in the lane near

railroad eorpor ations having lines
which combined traverse the northern
part Of the United States from ocean

would make one Of the strong est rail-
road organizations ID the country.
The Northern Pacific is an impor tant
road in the contemplated nnion, and
if the scheme materializes it will
doubtless5result in causing the N. P.

extending its branches that feed the
eastern portion Of the road. Hereto
fore the feeders along the eastern
part of the rpad furnished business Of
comparatively little value, as afte,
freight reached the main line it was
hauled but short distance before It
had to be turned over to some other
transportation company. The freight
that is supplied to the main line by
the feeders on the western end Of the
road has to be hauled for nearly twe
Thousand miles over the main line on
its way to market, thus making the
western feeders much more profitable
to the company than the eastern ones
Should this road now become inter.
ested in line to the Atlantic, there
is no doubt but the Little Falls & ,Da.

and other branches would be extended

WASHINGTON, Nov. The decision Of
the United States supreme conrt upon
the petition for writ of error in the
case of the Chicago anarchists was an.
nounced this afternoon by Chief Justice
Waite in long and carefully prepared
opinion, which occupied thirty Ave min.
utes in the reading, The court holds in
brief: s - : SIS 4 <. Z: Il
Frst-That the first ten amendments
to the consti sutton are limitations upon
federal and not upon state action.
Second That the jury law Of Illinois Il
upon its face valid and constitutional, and
that it is similar in its provisions to the
statute of Utah, which was sustained in
this court In the case of Hopt vs.. the ter
ritory Of Utah. ~
Third-That 1t does not appear in the
record that upon the evidence the trial
court should have declared the juror San.
ford incompetent. - &rs
Fourth-That objection to the admits,
sion of the Johann Most letter and the
Cross examination of Spies, which coun.
sci for the prisoners maintained, vir-
tually compelled them to testify against
themselves, were not objected to in the
open court, and that, therefore, no foun.
dation was laid for the exercise of this
courts jurisdiction.
And Fifth.-That the question raised
by General Butler in the cases of Spies

A Decision by the Interstate Com.
~ missioners Prohibits Their Sale.
WASHINGTON, Nov. "A decision has
been rendered by the interstate commits
sioners in the case of the Northern Pacific
Railroad company for selling land explor
ers' tickets at about one-half of the reg.
ular rate for round-trip tickets. These
explorers and settlers are carried on the
regular trains. The commission decides
that the Interstate commerce, law does
not permit the sale of tickets to any class
of people at rates different from those
established for the general public
The fact that, it is very desirable
for the defendant to make sale OF
its lands is not reason for dissriminat.
ing in favor of explorers or settlers. The
same reason would apply in case com
pany should desire to stimulate its freight
traffic or any other branch of it's business
by the use of reduced rates Or free trans.
portation to customers That the claim
that the settlement of the western terri
tories should be promoted by special
facilities of transportation to emf
grants, is a claim proper to be addressed
to the Legislative body, but not for con
sideration in interpreting in the present
statute. The Northern Pacific Railroad
company is, therefore, notified to desist
from selling said classes of tickets At
rates less than the regular rates charged
to the uublic.

hang. No men ever more fully

and none who believe in upholding
law and order express regret at their
fate. Of course the socialists who
want all legal authority destroyed do
not approve Of the course Of the law
in this matter. 1t will be lesson
to these people, however, that while
this is u free country, the power for
enforcing the law is just as great as it
is in any nation. The people Of this
country, by an overwhelming majori-
ty, are determined its laws shall be
enforced, and the foreign socialists
will meet with their Just fate for the
murder Of the police If Chicago.
